Hi, While updating the system we have a flag "delete unmaintained packages" which has the default setting "off" (I assume :-) ) but can be changed to "on" by the user. That means that packages for which no update is available and their vendor begin with "suse" will be deleted. Meanwhile (we can have more than one product on a system) this behaviour is wrong. E.G. if you have installed opensuse and a SLES product on your system and update the SLES product, all packages of opensuse will be deleted which are not updated by the SLES product. Ma ( We have too many Michaels in the team, so I take the login name :-) ) has suggested to delete not supported packages if they have unfulfilled dependencies only (Not regarding the vendors anymore). This list should be shown to the user who can decide how to go on. Any other opinions ?
